Olympic's Rule 50 prohibits demonstrations at Olympic sites

The countdown continues for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.We are now 80 days away from the start of the opening ceremony. As we inch closer to the games, you may be hearing about "Rule 50."The rule prohibits demonstrations, along with political, religious and racial propaganda at the Olympics. That includes peaceful demonstrations on the podium.However, the rule has been the subject of heated debate over the last year.Steeplechase Olympian Collen Quigley is used to clearing hurdles. However, this past year, the Florida State alumnus began focusing on a different hurdle and joined Team USA's Council on racial and social justice.“I got a position on the committee that's working on protests and demonstrations. And basically, what my committee has been focusing on is something called Rule 50,” Quigley said.According to the Olympic Charter, Rule 50 states "no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas"That includes raising a fist, taking a knee, or wearing certain displays on the field of play or during medal presentations."It's a very interesting and highly controversial issue at the moment, something that the IOC has actually been looking at for quite some time,” former IOC executive John Siner said.“So we actually were successful at the U.S. level. The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee has decided that it is now permissible for United States athletes at the Olympic trials and USA to have peaceful protests,” Quigley said. “That was a huge win for us. Now we are looking to do that at the Olympic level as well.”This past year, the IOC sent out a survey to athletes around the world with the following results: A majority at 70% said it is not appropriate to demonstrate on the field of play and at official ceremonies. While 67% said it was not appropriate on the podium.Just a couple weeks ago, the IOC decided Rule 50 will be upheld.“This finding actually has some backlash now amongst the greater athlete and human rights community to say, actually, this law is now antiquated and should be looked at further, because athletes should indeed have a platform to demonstrate some of the issues that they have,” Siner said.International organizations are already speaking out against Rule 50.The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport and the European elite athletes' body are among them.

Olympic Trials To Allow Raised Fists And Kneeling During National Anthem

The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will kick off on July 23, 2021.
Published 17 hours ago
Written by BET Staff
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) has announced that athletes will be allowed to raise their fists and kneel during the national anthem at the 2021 Olympic trials.
According to CBS News on Tuesday (March 30) a nine-page document was released by the committee and outlined that any racial or social demonstrations would not result in athletes being “punished or undermined” by USOPC. The athlete’s participation in the Olympic and Paralympic Trials events would also not be impacted.
Allowed peaceful protests include: kneeling on the medal podium or during the national anthem; raising a fist at the medal podium; and wearing hats with “Black Lives Matter,” “Trans Lives Matter,” or words like “equality” or “justice.”

TOKYO (Kyodo) -- American athletes will be allowed to make "respectful demonstrations" for racial and social justice during selection trials for this summer's Tokyo Games, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee said Tuesday.
In an open letter to U.S. athletes, USOPC chief Sarah Hirshland said they will be given latitude to "express their personal perspectives on racial and social justice in a respectful way, and without fear of sanction."

U.S. Olympic, Paralympic Committee Will Allow Raised Fists, Kneeling During National Anthem At Trials

By: CBS News
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) said Tuesday that it will allow athletes to kneel during the national anthem and raise their fists at Olympic trials, as the organization continues to review the decades-long policy of banning protests at the Games ahead of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
In a nine-page document released Tuesday, the committee outlined racial and social demonstrations that would "not be punished or undermined" by the USOPC or impact an athlete's participation in the Olympic and Paralympic Trials events. The guidance, which came with the help of the athlete-led Team USA Council on Racial and Social Justice, comes months after the USOPC announced in December it would not discipline players for protesting peacefully at the Olympics and Pan American Games.

NZOC Athletes' Commission in favour of scrapping Rule 50

NZOC Athletes' Commission in favour of scrapping Rule 50
Friday, 19 February 2021
The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) Athletes' Commission has called for Rule 50 to be removed, with a framework established to permit free speech within Olympic venues instead.
Discussions over Rule 50 have been heightened over the past year, prompted by the publication of Rule 50 guidelines last January.
The debate was fueled further by athletes' demonstrations in 2020 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement's rise to increasing prominence.
Rule 50 states that "no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas".
